From Joseph Sweredoski:

We are looking for an office we can film in on Monday and Tuesday, March the 26th and 27th, from 7pm until 12am for our film starring Second City school graduates Rick Corbett and Gina Juliet.
It will be a laid back film consisting of two people in a room talking.
If we get get an office through the UCF film community grapevine, that would be awesome as I'm currently running into a brick wall of not finding one anywhere else.

ALTERNATIVE CURRENTS COLLECTIVE PRESENTS: HYPNOTIC SUGGESTION 2012

April 7, 2012 from 3pm

10pm at the UCF Center for Emerging Media

Film/ media exhibit, Hypnotic Suggestion, will be open to the public on April 7, 2012 from 3pm –

10pm at the UCF Center for Emerging Media. This exhibition will feature works from alumni and

current students of the University of Central Florida Film Program presented by Alternative

Currents Collective. Alternative Currents Collective is a local art collaborative centered around the

exploration of the many ways one can view art. In this showcase we are given the opportunity to

witness a display of images and sound that provoke a feeling, a thought, and an idea that is not

purely our own. To call upon the rediscovery of what distracts us and in turn makes up who we are

today. The central theme, Hypnotic Suggestion brings to light these important moments.

This event will provide a local establishment for upcoming artists within the Central Florida

community. As part of Alternative Currents, we are constantly exploring our perception of our own

nostalgias and environmental circumstances. We express our findings via the frame through the

many different media outlets we have available. The possibility of creating a new way of seeing an

image is a challenge we are constantly working towards.

We are excited to be working with such talented artists. Many works to highlight are “Suffering for

the Duration” by Daniel Watkins, “Phase Space” by Jon Perez, “Gorgeous Media” by Christina

Santa Cruz, and “A Charge for Privacy” by Branger Briz. “Suffering for the Duration” illustrates

the aftermath of applying a soldering iron to a reel of film. “Phase Space” is a multiple channel

video installation displaying scenes of nature within the context of an isolated gallery space.

“Gorgeous Media” exposes the inherent fear of manipulation that resides in any viewer of social

images produced by the media. “A Charge for Privacy” asks the question: Are you willing to give

up privacy for social networking?

You can find more information about this event on our facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hypnotic-Suggestion/337307459633529

This will be the first of many shows curated by Alternative Currents Collective. Hypnotic

Suggestion offers a unique experience for those that attend. It will be an opportunity for artists and

audiences to come together and explore the different forms of art making in the Orlando

community.

Camera, Sound, Gaff Needed

From Joseph
Somewhere on a weekend day in between March 24th and April 14th March my friends Gina Juliet and Rick Corbett are planning on shooting a short comedic film called "Interview" that they wrote that takes place entirely within an office.  Some might say it's more of a sketch.

Both Gina and Rick are both accomplished actors (Gina especially has a robust IMDB profile and acting reel) and are graduates from the Second City school of Improv comedy in LA.  They were also both leads in my D2 film "A Likely Story" which they wrote together:

http://vimeo.com/24158157

Currently we are looking for one cameraman, one sound man, and one gaff to assist us with this mini project.  Each person must have and bring their own equipment, though we aren't expecting anything super fancy. 

This will be a smaller and more simpler film, and as such it makes for a very good opportunity for anyone trying to break into the production scene to work on a very fun set with trained comedic actors with great talent and tons of connections.
